PDF is great for [its] intended purpose: Creating
portable documents
that can be viewed and printed regardless of the resolution of the
output device.
But not really any different from PostScript in that regard. At least
not if you think of the Document Structuring Conventions as mandatory.
A PDF I create with vector line art looks great on my
10-yr-old 300
DPI postscript printer, but on a 1200 DPI printer of today it is
flawless.
And a PostScript file ditto, ditto.
